Crazy
Mimi Maura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue

I know
you'd love me as long
as you wanted

then someday
leave me for somebody new

worry
why do I let myself worry
wondring
what in the world did I do

crazy
for thinking that my love
could hold you
I'm crazy for crying

I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

Overall Meaning

The song "Crazy" by Mimi Maura is a cover of the popular Patsy Cline country tune from the 1960s. The song is about a woman who is in love with a man, but she knows that he will eventually leave her for someone else. She describes herself as crazy for feeling so lonely and blue, knowing that she is putting her heart on the line for this man. The lyrics also touch on her worries and fears of being abandoned, despite her love for him. She acknowledges that she is crazy for thinking that her love could hold him, but she continues to cry and try to hold onto him anyway.

One interpretation of the song is that it speaks to the human condition of wanting love and companionship, even if we know it may not last forever. It captures the heartbreak of being in a relationship that ultimately ends, and the pain that comes with realizing that you cannot change someone's feelings or keep them from leaving.

Overall, Mimi Maura's version of "Crazy" is a beautiful and emotional tribute to the original song. Her soulful voice adds depth and richness to the lyrics, making them even more poignant and memorable.
